In this paper I explore the structure of the fields of definition of Galois branched covers of the projective line over \bar Q. The first main result states that every mere cover model has a unique minimal field of definition where its…

We show that the simple group PSL_2(F_p) occurs as the Galois group of an extension of the rationals for all primes p>3. We obtain our Galois extensions by studying the Galois action on the second etale cohomology groups of a specific…

In this paper, we consider the inverse Galois problem with described inertia behavior. For a finite group $G$, one of its subgroups $I$ and a prime integer $p$, we ask whether or not $G$ and $I$ can be realized as the Galois group and the…

Let $k/\mathbb F_p$ denote a finite field. For any split connected reductive group $G/W(k)$ and certain CM number fields $F$, we deform certain Galois representations $\overline\rho:Gal(\overline F/F) \to G(k)$ to continuous families…

For every finite field F and every positive integer r, there exists a finite extension F' of F such that either SO(2r+1,F') or its simple derived group can be realized as a Galois group over Q. If the characteristic of F is 3 or 5 (mod 8),…

Let $F$ be any field. We give a short and elementary proof that any finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL(2,F)$ occurs as a Galois group over the function field $F(x)$. We also develop a theory of descent to subfields of $F$. This enables us to…

We show that for a large class of finite groups G, the number of Galois extensions E/Q of group G and discriminant $|d_E|\leq y$ grows like a power of $y$ (for some specified exponent). The groups G are the regular Galois groups over Q and…

We prove that there are infinitely many finite simple groups of symplectic Lie type, of any specified characteristic and rank, which appear as Galois groups over the field of rational numbers. This generalizes a result of Wiese, which…

In this paper, we prove new instances of the inverse Galois problem over global function fields for finite groups of Lie type. This is done by constructing compatible systems of $\ell$-adic Galois representations valued in a semisimple…

We show that every linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is the differential Galois group of a regular singular linear differential equation with rational function coefficients.

An algebraic extension of the rational numbers is said to have the $\textit{Bogomolov property}$ (B) if the absolute logarithmic Weil height of its non-torsion elements is uniformly bounded from below. Given a continuous representation…

For a fixed prime power $q$ and natural number $d$ we consider a random polynomial $$f=x^n+a_{n-1}(t)x^{n-1}+\ldots+a_1(t)x+a_0(t)\in\mathbb F_q[t][x]$$ with $a_i$ drawn uniformly and independently at random from the set of all polynomials…

The fundamental concepts in the Galois Theory are separable, normal and Galois field extensions. These concepts are central in proofs of the Galois Theory. In the paper, we introduce a new approach, a ring theoretic approach, to the Galois…

Special covers are metacyclic covers of the projective line, with Galois group of order pm, which have a specific type of bad reduction to characteristic p. Such covers arise in the study of the arithmetic of Galois covers of the projective…

Let k be a p-adic field. Some time ago, D. Harbater [9] proved that any finite group G may be realized as a regular Galois group over the rational function field in one variable k(t), namely there exists a finite field extension $F/k(t)$,…

For an algebraically closed field K, let G be a finite abelian group of K-linear automorphisms of a finite-dimensional path algebra KQ of a quiver Q. Under certain assumptions on the action of G, we show the existence of a certain kind of…

A Galois correspondence theorem is proved for the case of inverse semigroups acting orthogonally on commutative rings as a consequence of the Galois correspondence theorem for groupoid actions. To this end, we use a classic result of…

For many finite groups, the Inverse Galois Problem can be approached through modular/automorphic Galois representations. This is a report explaining the basic strategy, ideas and methods behind some recent results. It focusses mostly on the…

Given a Hilbertian field $k$ and a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of Krull valuations of $k$, we show that every finite split embedding problem $G \rightarrow {\rm{Gal}}(L/k)$ over $k$ with abelian kernel has a solu\-tion ${\rm{Gal}}(F/k)…

The goal of this paper is to remove the irreducibility hypothesis in a theorem of Richard Taylor describing the image of complex conjugations by $p$-adic Galois representations associated with regular, algebraic, essentially self-dual,…
